- Convicted felons are being found in possession of firearms
Violations of sovereign state laws are to be dealt with by the state. A state’s failures do NOT justify unconstitutional federal acts.
- Federal property
Almost ALL “federal property” within the states are unconstitutional. Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 provides the conditions for the only constitutional allowance for federal property on state lands.
- No one is talking about DHS arresting for or prosecuting State crimes.
No one is talking about the massive unconstitutional encroachments and infringements by the feds upon America, her states, and her people. Does that mean it’s not happening?
Why do you constantly defend the utter corrupt and totalitarian $4 trillion feds who is like Audrey in The Little Shop of Horrors (”FEED ME!!!!”)? The feds are not you friend and we are one election way from this totalitarian beast from taking every thing you hold dear.
He will win because he wants schools open.
No, the expectation of the Founders was for the people of each state to take responsibility for themselves, elect and/or deal with those elected, and run things accordingly.
Who do you think constitutionally runs America? The government???? No, go somewhere else to find that.
No, in America, the key to her freedom and well being is that THE PEOPLE run the country by and through their elected state and national representatives with their individual rights and freedoms guarded by the the Rule of Law of the Constitution, the ONLY legal bulwark against tyranny.
If you abandon that, you’ve abandoned the free America the Constitution created.
“...Wray is of the same mind as the Pentagon generals. They now believe they are independent and the President isn’t at the top of the chain of command. They are carving out their fiefdoms and will do as they please....”
Sort of. Wray and the Pentagon generals are still controlled by the Soros/obama shadow government. Any time the POTUS can put the onerous on them, he does. After his re-election, these soros/obama turds will likely be quickly “flushed”. The POTUS has probably learned the hard way that ALL those obama turds should have been flushed the first day.
Most people writing on the subject assert that POTUS is using the Insurrection Act to justify sending forces where there has been a breakdown of civil authority. I think that he is trying to leverage that act to get the mayors & Governors to request the help of the Federal Government so that he does not have to use the act. POTUS is very cognizant of the primacy of State control within the State. OTOH there is a breakdown of law & order and he is duty bound to address that situation if the local authorities do not. The language of his oath is shall

You haven’t addressed the problem, Jim.
Go organize the people in Oregon and Washington to put down the commie insurrection. That’s what you’re advocating. Either organize the anti-commie resistance or pay for a private army to recapture the states. Your choice.
It doesn’t matter what “most people” say. It matters what the Executive Branch is using as the constitutional justification for ANY act.
WAY too many Executive Orders replacing Congress and the legitimate and constitutional lawmakers. If not corrected, this will come back to bite us HARD!!!
Why do you constantly defend the utter corrupt and totalitarian $4 trillion feds (in this case, the overreach of the executive branch) who is like Audrey in The Little Shop of Horrors (”FEED ME!!!!”)?

Yes, I DID address the problem Dave. You’re just not paying attention,.
It’s up to the The PEOPLE of Oregon and Washington (not me) to put down the commie insurrection in their own state.

This would imply that it was up to the PEOPLE of South Carolina to put down their insurrection in the Spring of 1861. What happens when the people in power there [Oregon, Washington] do not want to put it down? Do those who disagree just get crushed?
It hasn’t been our government for many years.

I think you mistake me. That is not surprising because we are discussing multifaceted issues in a superficial way.
I think that in the final analysis the people who are living in Chicago and other crime ridden hellholes need help. Not on a permanent basis but in a mop up operation that cuts the problem down to a size the locals can handle. What I am hoping is that this will be an education for traditionally democrat supporters who have been thrown under the bus, abandoned by their elected officials.
As long as there is a Constitutional justification for stepping in to rescue those communities I see it as long overdue. It is wrong to step aside and allow innocents to be slaughtered every weekend with the local authorities ignoring the crimes. That is not America, that is not equal justice. President Trump spent 3.5 years not using executive power as a way of circumventing the other branches of Government. He has been punctilious about respecting Congress & the Courts. Now he has begun to fight fire with fire in an effort to protect & defend the American people & our way of life.
Even now he tries every other means 1st. I am not sorry he is building the wall against all opposition by using every legal tool at his disposal. I am not sorry he is showing America that cities where the rule of law has been abandoned & corruption is a way of life can get a fresh start. I do not agree with your characterization. This is not the bloated federal Government acting. This is President Trump refusing to leave Americans in such desperate straits.
President Trump realizes he needs to get the country on a path towards prosperity, with a strong armed forces, a strong manufacturing sector, manufacturing essential items in USA and with trade deals that will allow us to prosper. POTUS wants all Americans to have the opportunity to work to make their dreams come true. He has been cutting regulations, cutting federal positions, breaking up bureaucracy for his entire term. I think your anger at the bloated central government is not allowing you to see that POTUS has the same end vision as you do and is moving towards it, unconventionally, using some sleight of hand to confuse the enemy but inexorably towards Government answerable to the people with limited Federal powers. His posture during COVID demonstrates that readily. Any amount of effort & funds to help the States but no move to attempt to utilize Central control and eliminate local choices.
Yes sir.
Wow, good well reasoned, thoughtful rational answer.
You are a waste of time and part of the problem.
I just checked and sure enough you are on my No Fly Zone list. Should never have replied to you. My mistake.
Most people want law and order.
But Trump hasn’t told the world his actions are based on the the Insurrection Act has he? And the feds (in this case, the Executive Branch) must explain the constitutional justification for ANY act.
“Should never have replied to you.”
Feel free to not do so in the future. You suck IQ points out of the room.

Trump has been talking about sending federal law enforcement into Chicago ever since he was elected. This is no surprise and nothing new, just acting on a long standing warning.
POTUS hold his cards close to the chest and allows some ambiguity to give himself options. When the first suit is filed his legal team will be ready to layout the legal basis underpinning his actions.
